Our children are our future, and to ensure their success and well-being, Pierce College recognizes the need for quality educational programs that have both short- and long-term positive effects on young children, their families and our communities.
We have established a comprehensive Early Childhood Education program which not only prepares students to work with young children but also offers children and their parents numerous opportunities for growth and development.
